The '''Kongo Jungle''' is a vast jungle which appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. It is found on [[Donkey Kong Island]], at the foot of [[Monkey Mines]]. It is depicted as the general location of [[DK's Tree House]]; a distinction it shares with the similar [[Jungle (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jungle]] world in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', which has been suggested to be the same location.<ref>KynanPearson (August 12, 2021).

Kongo Jungle's name is based on the {{wp|Congo River|Congo Jungle}} in Africa. The only difference is that its name starts with a "K" instead of a "C"; this is a recurring theme throughout the ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]'' series, and Kongo Jungle is the earliest example of such. | |||

| | ===''Donkey Kong Country''=== | ||
In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Kongo Jungle is the first world. Most of the area is engulfed in a jungle, but there is a long cavern about midway through. The cavern's exit leads to the second half of Kongo Jungle, which itself directly leads to a large lake. The original [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] release shows two halves of Kongo Jungle in separate screens. | |||

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Jungle Hijinxs SNES 2.png]]<br>'''[[Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country)|Jungle Hijinxs]]''' | |||
| | |The first level of Kongo Jungle. It introduces basic enemies such as [[Kritter]]s and [[Gnawty|Gnawties]]. Most of the level is straightforward, but has a few pits near the end. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] receive assistance from [[Rambi the Rhino]], who appears about halfway through the level. He has the ability to ram into enemies and walls that patch up [[Bonus Area]]s. | ||

|Ropey Rampage takes place directly after Jungle Hijinxs, and takes place at night during a tropical rainstorm. The main theme of the level is for the [[Kong]]s to walk on treetops and swing on [[Rope]]s across large abysses. This level introduces the aerial enemy, [[Zinger]]s, and rolling armadillos, [[Army|Armies]]. | |||

|This level takes place inside a cavern tunnel with a bumpy ground. The level's elevation varies, and [[tire (object)|tire]]s are needed to reach the higher ledges. Kritters often guard the upper or lower steeped areas, Zingers usually lurk around the tires, and [[Slippa]]s patrol on the ground. | |||

|Coral Capers is the first underwater level, and is set in a coral reef. The Kongs can free [[Enguarde the Swordfish|Enguarde]] from an [[Animal Crate]] to help defeat some aquatic foes. Every underwater enemy debuts in this level except [[Squidge]]. Like the other underwater levels, Coral Capers has no Bonus Areas. There are coral walls with items such as [[banana]]s. | |||

|The fifth and final level of Kongo Jungle, and is therefore considered the hardest level of that world. As its name suggests, there are several [[Barrel Cannon]]s and [[Blast Barrel]]s located throughout the level. They are essential because they allow the Kongs to cross over the large pits. The level features several Kritters, including their bouncing variant. Zingers often patrol over the large pits. The Kongs can go on the treetops to access secret Barrel Cannons that allow them to quickly skip across the large pitfalls. | |||

Kongo Jungle (spelled "Congo Jungle" in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'') appears as one of the arenas in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' The Kongo Jungle stage is made out of a large wooden platform with several smaller, sometimes floating ones around it. There is also a vast jungle in the background of the arena and a [[Barrel Cannon]] underneath the arena. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', in addition to the previous Kongo Jungle returning, another Kongo Jungle stage (later renamed "Kongo Falls" in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'') was introduced. This Kongo Jungle stage is constructed out of logs strewn together, which are sitting on rocks jutting out of a waterfall. In the background of this stage is a vast jungle along with what appears to be [[DK's Tree House]]. Kongo Jungle in ''Super Smash Bros.'' later returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', while both versions reappear in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. | |||
A recreation of the original Kongo Jungle world map appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''{{'}}s Adventure mode, World of Light, where it is named "DK Island". It can be visited via a portal on the east side of the world map. In DK Island, ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]''-series [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirits]] appear in the locations the levels were originally, in the following order: [[Kritter]] ([[Ropey Rampage]]), [[Cranky Kong]] ([[Cranky's Cabin]]), [[Zinger]] ([[Reptile Rumble]]), [[Enguarde the Swordfish|Enguarde]] ([[Coral Capers]]), [[Funky Kong]] ([[Funky's Flights]]), [[Candy Kong]] ([[Candy's Save Point]]), and [[Diddy Kong]] ([[Very Gnawty's Lair]]). Defeating Funky Kong's puppet fighter unlocks Funky Kong's Shack, one of the shops in Spirits mode. | |||
